Burning significantly decreased dry matter percentage, crude fiber, cell walls, and lignin. Fertilization did not significantly influence any of those factors except for increasing lignin slightly. Big Bluestem had significantly less crude fiber, cells walls, and lignin than Little Bluestem.BeefBurningNitrogenBig bluestemLittle bluestemConference paper
